I noticed the thread I linked above had pictures of all the tools except the crank locking tool (9995187), which is one of the tools you were asking about.

Here are links to a couple of pages that show photos of it and some information, and it looks like Baum does still sell it (for $150 or $104, depending on whether you buy it from their site or from their store on Amazon):

Note also that you need to make sure to use the right torque spec when tightening the crank center bolt after you lock the crank with this tool (or your own fabricated version). Be careful, because there are two different torque specs for this bolt depending on what equipment you are using, and you need to choose the correct one for your situation. The actual torque spec, if using a wrench directly on the bolt, is around 340 ft-lb. YES, this is likely to be tighter than any fastener you have ever encountered before, and yes, it really does need to be AT LEAST that tight when you put it back together, or it'll grenade the engine. And yes, even with that extremely high torque, Volvo also calls for locking compound to be used on this bolt. In case it isn't already clear, it is really critical that this bolt never loosens up.

Since most torque wrenches only read up to around 250 ft-lb, Volvo provides a wrench extension tool that adds about a foot of extra lever length between the bolt and your torque wrench (tool 9995188). When using this extension, a torque wrench reading of 255 ft-lb is called for. In other words, when using this method, you dial up the maximum setting on your 250lb torque wrench, then give a couple of very hard pulls with a breaker bar inserted into the 5188 tool AFTER the torque wrench clicks at 250. But don't misread that 255 spec and think that the bolt itself only needs to be tightened to 255 ft-lb!!! That spec ONLY is valid if you use the 9995188 extension or a similar tool you build yourself. If you are only using a torque wrench and socket directly on the bolt without the extension, the higher 340+ ft-lb spec is what you have to use.

Here's what 9995188 looks like, for reference. It's a 12pt 27mm socket on one end and accepts a 1/2" drive torque wrench on the other.



And here is a helpful image showing how 9995187 and 9995188 are used together:
